Sorry long question- I know fuel press is supposed to be around 45-50psi on factory pump/ diesel fuel.
Well I decided to change my filter today and install a fuel press gauge. I installed an autometer electric sender that I 't'd into the 3/8" line before it splits to the heads.
Well I got it all wired up and turned the key and I have pressure, unfortunately it's 36psi according to the gauge. And when I rap the throttle it drops a couple psi.
Havent even tried the veggie side yet as Im so freaked out and the truck is cold...Hoping that reads low too so it's a gauge issue not my diesel side or my injectors will be toast at that psi correct?
FYI this is an old sender from my car so ??? or maybe there is air in the line? Maybe gauge is incorrect??? HELP!
I have changed a few filters on this rig (like every 9-10k)so I don't think theres a issue there???
